Oops he did it again 🖤💛

The whole community are getting behind us for the season!! Thanks to the village “Walkie Talkies” knitting club for their superb post box topper 🖤💛

Things are heating up ahead of Sunday's derby match, with Harry Ward not rating the Lion's chances... 😳. Come down to the Grimston Clean Tech Cricket Ground on Sunday and see if he's right!! Bouncy Castle, BBQ, Ice Cream Van, and Bar will be open!! 🖤💛

Team lineups are in for our first full week of cricket, with U15s (tues), Ladies (thurs), and the Grimston Derby (Sunday)!! It's going to be a great day with Bouncy Castle courtesy of Sands Castles, Ice Cream Van, and Bar and BBQ!! 🖤💛

Big thanks to Patrick Grief Carpentry for putting up shelving in our notoriously small changing rooms - this will make a big difference and mean we can keep our kit bags off the floor, saving space!

The good news keeps coming! Everyone at the club is looking forward to washing up without needing to boil the kettle for hot water 😅 🖤💛

Sands Castles have kindly agreed to provide bouncy castles for several of our big matches, and to sponsor 2024 Bowler of the Year Crystal!! We look forward to seeing lots of families at the ground this summer enjoying the cricket and the castles!! ☀️ 🏰

The club had a fantastic bingo night, and raised our biggest ever total - over £800 🤩!! Thanks to all who helped organise, deliver the night, and came down to enjoy!! 🖤💛

Happy International Women’s day to all the amazing ladies and girls at Grimston CC - not just our players but wives, girlfriends, sisters, mums, nans, and all the ladies who are the real heartbeat of the club! 🖤💛

We had lots of fun at our youth and ladies training sessions last night! We will continue to work on diving catches next week too!! 🖤💛

More work underway at the ground, first mow of the year to keep the cricket square at the correct height to optimise soil conditions, and lots of maintenance on our mowers. Thanks to the volunteers for helping out, and to co-op for the essential donuts. 🖤💛
